|May 2005 |
|Background |The National Mutual Aid and Resource Management Initiative supports the National Incident Management System (NIMS) by |
| |establishing a comprehensive, integrated national mutual aid and resource management system that provides the basis to type, |
| |order, and track all (Federal, State, and local) response assets. |
|Resource Typing |For ease of ordering and tracking, response assets need to be categorized via resource typing. Resource typing is the |
| |categorization and description of resources that are commonly exchanged in disasters via mutual aid, by capacity and/or |
| |capability. Through resource typing, disciplines examine resources and identify the capabilities of a resource’s components |
| |(i.e., personnel, equipment, training). During a disaster, an emergency manager knows what capability a resource needs to have|
| |to respond efficiently and effectively. Resource typing definitions will help define resource capabilities for ease of |
| |ordering and mobilization during a disaster. As a result of the resource typing process, a resource’s capability is readily |
| |defined and an emergency manager is able to effectively and efficiently request and receive resources through mutual aid during|
| |times of disaster. |
